Some Inmates At Regina Correctional Centre Are Refusing Food Trays

The provincial ministry of Justice will be speaking on food issues at the Regina Correctional Centre Thursday afternoon.

68 inmates at the centre are refusing the food trays they are being given citing the quality of that food.

Last year, the government entered into an agreement with Compass Group Canada to provide food at provincial run jails much to the chagrin of the SGEU who says their workers are also threatened because of this.

The government says no inmates have become sick from the food they have eaten and say the group providing food services to the jail is the same group that provides food services for the University of Regina, Moose Jaw’s Mosaic Place and the Regina and Saskatoon airport.
